	Jason Kendall : Athletics Jason Kendall Statistics
		Jason Daniel Kendall is a veteran catcher whose face shows his intensity.
		Kendall graduated from Torrance (CA) High School where he batted.549 (45 for 82) with three homers, 39 RBI and 21 stolen bases as a senior.
		Jason could have perhaps recorded the best season in 1999, he had even topped his career highs in batting average, on-base percentage, and slugging average, but a dreadful compound fracture ended his season.

		Kendall appeared to be headed for his best season yet in 1999, topping his career highs in batting average, on-base percentage, and slugging average.
		Worries about Kendall's health were put to rest in 2000, when he was readmitted into the tiny fraternity of fleet-footed backstops by reaching double-digits in stolen bases for the fourth straight season.
		Kendall homers in the 1st, singles in the 2nd, doubles in the 3rd, and triples in the 8th, driving in five runs in the process.

	Kendall's exit frees cash flow (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-08-12)
		Kendall officially is gone now, as is every other player on the major-league roster from that team, along with the manager and general manager in what has been an incredible period of change for a franchise still toiling to reverse its fortunes.
		While general manager Dave Littlefield conceded it was "difficult" to part with a cornerstone player such as Kendall, he announced yesterday that a trade has gone through that sends Kendall to the Oakland Athletics for starting pitcher Mark Redman, reliever Arthur Rhodes and cash considerations that give the Pirates immediate resources to strengthen their offense.
		Kendall sustained a severe ankle dislocation in 1999 and basically caught the entire 2001 season with a torn ligament in his catching thumb, but he had no trouble passing his physical this week.

		Kendall, 30, is one of nine players on the A's young 25-man roster who will play in their first game at Yankee Stadium, and one of seven to make their Fenway Park debut.
		Defensively, Kendall is guiding the young A's staff to a 4.03 ERA — the fifth best in the league — but he's thrown out just 5-of-26 baserunners (15 percent below his career average), and often bounced throws to second base.
		But what Kendall means is slowing down the game — not thinking about his footwork, his hands, his release, the baserunner and what side of the bag to put the ball.

		Jason Kendall, the brilliant young catcher for the Pittsburgh Pirates, runs down the first base line, hits first base with the edge of his right foot and, after an awkward series of half-steps, plunges to the ground.
		The announcers say that a close-up shot is too horrible to see: Kendall's ankle shattered, a piece of bone piercing the skin and sock.
		The tape shows the first baseman turning away, unable to look, and Kendall, having gone into shock, carried away on a stretcher, his teammates hiding their faces.

		Sure, Kendall showed his value behind the plate several times in the first week and a half of the season, but it wasn't until Wednesday night that his bat finally did some damage as well.
		Kendall drove in two runs, including the go-ahead run in a four-run eighth inning as Oakland salvaged the final game of its series against the Toronto Blue Jays with a 6-3 victory before 15,860 at McAfee Coliseum.
		Kendall, acquired from Pittsburgh in the off-season, is goingthrough the standard period of adjustment after switching leagues.

		Kendall's gruesome injury on July 4, 1999, is often cited as a testament to his toughness.

		Jason Kendall’s stats include lifetime figures of a.306 average and.387 OBA, excellent numbers for any ballplayer, especially a catcher (just how great we will see in a moment).
		One of the main reasons we neglect to mention Kendall’s name amongst the greatest of all-time is that he doesn’t have the gaudy jaw dropping HR and RBI totals of a slugger.
		Kendall’s accomplishments are more subtle than that, though they are by no means less important to the success of a ball club.

		Because Jason Kendall, 30, is all those things and yet can never come close to earning the $34 million remaining on the last three years of his contract.
		Kendall's on-base average was slightly higher,.402 to Cochrane's.398, and his slugging average just a shade lower,.456 to.460.
		But Kendall stole many more bases (93 to 35), and given that Cochrane was playing in the late 1920s when league averages were higher, Kendall's performance from 1996 through 2000 was better.

		PITTSBURGH -- Three-time All-Star catcher Jason Kendall was close to being traded from the Pittsburgh Pirates to the Oakland Athletics for a pair of pitchers, a baseball official told the Associated Press on Wednesday.
		Kendall is due to make $10 million in 2005, $11 million in 2006 and $13 million in 2007, the final three seasons of the $60 million deal he signed just before the Pirates moved into PNC Park in 2001.
		Kendall has talked repeatedly over the years of wanting to play his entire career with one team, something he envied Pirates Hall of Famers Roberto Clemente and Willie Stargell for doing.

		Kendall is just a different player than Lopez/Varitek/Posada, and that trio will be hurt by being the same type of player that Piazza is (i know, i know, his Defense blows).

		PITTSBURGH (AP) — The long-discussed deal to send Jason Kendall from the Pirates to San Diego fell apart Tuesday — apparently because the Padres' ownership balked at picking up the remaining $42 million of the catcher's contract.
		Kendall's back-end loaded $60 million deal, signed in 2000, is worth $42 million over the next four seasons — $8 million in 2004, $10 million in 2005, $11 million in 2006 and $13 million in 2007.
		Kendall signed his deal during a big wave of salary inflation that hit just as the Pirates were readying to move into PNC Park in 2001.

		PITTSBURGH -- Jason Kendall was traded Saturday from Pittsburgh to Oakland, giving the Athletics one of baseball's best top-of-the-lineup hitters and most durable catchers and partly freeing the Pirates of their biggest financial burden.
		Kendall waived his no-trade clause to play for a team closer to his Manhattan Beach, Calif., home.
		"We'll appreciate Kendall when he's gone, playing for as well as he did for as long as he did, but to get to where we want to go, we need more players and some financial flexibility," said Littlefield, who wants to add more offense and sign a catcher to supplement backup Humberto Cota.
